Has anyone ported RU-CAP2 for apollo's. We've yanked the latest binaries off rutyers, and it is obvious that it won't go through quite as it is, although I hope the changes will not be monumental. I know of, already: 1) The configuration script doesn't work for Apollos [ I wish the people who write this would use /lib/libc (or is it /lib/clib, I always forget) if it exists, and save us having to do these fixes. ] 2) The byte swap info has to be added - obviously the same as other 68000 machines like Sun's. However, I'd be grateful from hearing from anyone who has got it to work on 10.? - especially if there is a patch file out there somewhere. I suppose if anyone has tried and failed, that would be useful too. John Forrest Dept of Computation UMIST

The reason you can't remember is that the correct answer is it needs to check both. BTW. If you find a working version, please let me know. -- Alfalfa Software, Inc. | Poste: The EMail for Unix nazgul@alfalfa.com | Send Anything...
